I have no idea how he even got my name or address. It was almost 20 years ago and I was 18 years old, still living with my parents. It has boggeled my mind for years.
They knew my name, but asked things like what my hobbies were, if I had piercings, music l liked, just like they were trying to get to know me better.
They told me things about them like where they were from, their hobbies, how he ended up in prison and how he learned from his mistake, just being young and dumb and following the wrong crowd.
I responded once or twice, but quit writing when he refused to tell me how he knew my name and address, he said "Just a friend", but would not give me a name. He wrote maybe a couple more letters after I stopped writing, saying he just wanted a pen pal, but understood if I didn't. Then that was it, never heard from him again.
I had 1 friend at the time, and she had no idea who it was. I've never been a social butterfly and I'm actually extremely introverted and don't talk to many people. I have no idea how this guy got my name or address.
Someone else asked a question about WWII and it made me realize I've always wondered this but didn't put 2 and 2 together, that I could ask on here. I've done some amateur research, but everything I've read seems sensationalized. I'm not even looking for a definite yes, but could it have changed the outcome of the war?
My thoughts were always that Germany would have eventually fallen, and Japan in that wake. Am I wrong?
Thanks for participating. I hope someone actually does this.
Dad: Well you should tell them to speak louder.
For the last 6 months since new years I only used youtube on my amazon Firetv. For anyone who doesn't know there are only 2 ways to subscribe to someone on firetv (that I know of).
-
is by clicking on their video in your feed then pausing the video, navigating to their channel icon, clicking on it, navigating to subscribe icon, and clicking on it.
-
Searching for their channel by navigating an on screen keyboard with a tv or by saying the channel name with Alexa.
I don't have a video in my history for me to have somehow accidently subbed with 1) and I have never typed (Its not in my history of the 8 things I have bothered searching for) or said cocomelon out loud to somehow accidently sub with 2)
I had never even heard of cocomelon until 10 days ago when I went on the youtube web for the first time in a while and saw their channel live under my subscriptions. I unsubscribed and made a comment on a reddit post. Just now I found them live under my subscriptions again and once again had to unsubscribe.
So, I was getting off the phone with my little brother last night m and I said “I love you” and how much it feels good to say that and how far I have come with being comfortable with saying that simple yet impactful phrase.
I always think about the lack of love and simple acts of a hug or a cheek kiss always used to throw me off. I am better but still taken back when it happens.
Growing up, I never received hugs or endearment phrases from my parents for simply being here. Now that I am married and cut all contact over 15 years ago it’s become part of my every day to make sure to show my husband and siblings the endearment even if I have to challenge myself to say it. I love you - it’s simple yet important for me to say it to them.
Have any of you thought about this?
SPD or symphysis pubis dysfunction. Pelvis pain. I hear ya, like whatever but there's this post on one of the mom reddits (I follow out of morbid curiosity, you'll be able to find it).
So the OP is like "am I being a whiny bitch because I'm in a ton of pain (from SPD)? I am struggling to walk, they said come back after 9 months if its still bad but I'm pushing for scans."
This woman was like "no, you're right to follow up, 11 years later I'm feeling a little better. "
11 YEARS with SPD
11
YEARS
ELEVEN
YEARS.
NO FUCKING THANK YOU.
Childfree life for the win.
I’m a travel pharmacist currently so I’m working at a small community hospital for the first time instead of a health system.
A hospitalist order hypertonic saline for a patient with only a peripheral in the ICU. I called him and asked if he planned on getting a central within a couple hours and says “I’ve never heard of hypertonic saline needing a central line.”
It threw me off so much that I questioned my own knowledge. I showed him some administration instructions from other places bc this place doesn’t even have a policy for this situation. He blew me off.
What would you do in this situation? I wanted to report it in “risk plus” but didn’t and just left it in the handoff for the next shift. I feel like I didn’t do enough there but pharmacy doesn’t have that much power at this site.
